What do people say about you when
you leave? I don’t mean when you leave
the table or a meeting. People talking
behind your back is not what I am getting at either. What do people say when they are no longer
around you on a regular basis? How do
they talk about you when you move out of a community? What is said about you when you leave a
job? How are you thought of by someone
when they leave your company or neighborhood and no longer get to interact with
you regularly? What do people say when
you roll off of a Board of Directors?
The answer to those questions is the true measurement of your influence and your impact.
Currently I serve as Chairman of the Board of Leadership Montgomery County (LMC). It is an organization dedicated to developing leaders in our community and it holds a special place in my heart. One of the core values of LMC is “We Leave Our Mark.” We challenge ourselves and others to make a lasting impression. We should all leave our mark. The answers to the above questions are your report card. How will people remember you when you leave?
